Finally, we need to put the cover on the edge connector. It will need a small adjustment. Basically both top & bottom "lips" of the connector needs removing. I used a small hacksaw and file for finishing. Hopefully yours will look better than mine. If you don't do this, it won't fit snugly and fully into the PET's edge connctor.

We are now ready to fit the edge connector cover, and this is straighforward...

Since we no longer have the "lip" to hold in the connector, I had to use some spare nuts and bolts pictured below to hold it in place. These brass ones work quite well, but I'm sure you can find some from a hardware store.

And there we have it, complete with a simple label. There is a small gap you can see inside which could be blocked/packed with something, but it's only cosmetic. I don't think Belkin will want my resume, but hey they made these we wouldn't need to do all this...

That's all folks, I hope it worked for you!
